Spectacular cable car ride in Madeira

The Miradouro do Teleférico das Achadas da Cruz is an awe-inspiring sight! Located atop a 500-meter cliff, the cable car transports tourists from the Calhau Snack Bar down the incredibly steep drop to a unique village sitting on the north-western coast of Madeira. The landscape is breathtaking, as you look out across the waves crashing against the shore while dolphins glide around in the waters. Once you reach the bottom, you get to explore the traditional Fajá da Quebrada Nova village that includes houses and vineyards not seen anywhere else on the island. Whether you ride the cable car or take the two-kilometer hike down the steep steps, make sure to bring along a camera to document your journey!
